rainbowbrarian 's review for:
Forest Hills Bootleg Society
by Nicole Goux, Dave Baker
Gorgeous art style, very well realized characters. I really liked the tiny portrait notes that were included around people and places in some of the wide shot scenes. You got little snippets of things about a person, right handed, has secretly been in love with best friend since he was 6, really likes robots. It really added a great flavor and realism to the story. I also super enjoyed the maps that were added and the notes on those. It made the setting feel more tangible.
I liked the story right up to the very unsatisfying ending. I guess it was at least realistic, and I probably should have seen it coming, but I'm really tired of stories about queer folks ending unsatisfying. It wasn't a misery ever after, but it was unhappy. And I get unhappy in reality often enough I don't want it in my stories.
